Mount Shuksan, Summit in North Cascades National Park, United States.

Mount Shuksan rises to 2,782 meters (9,127 feet) and features a three-sided peak called the Summit Pyramid, giving it a distinct angular shape. Numerous glaciers flow across its rocky slopes, making it one of the most heavily glaciated peaks in the North Cascades.

The first ascent is usually credited to Asahel Curtis and W. Montelius Price on September 7, 1906. In a 1907 letter to the Mazamas club journal, C. E. Rusk instead attributed the first ascent to Joseph Morowits in 1897, adding that he would have attempted it in 1903 had he not been sure it had already been climbed.

The name Shuksan comes from the Lummi word [šéqsən], said to mean "high peak". The Nooksack call the mountain Shéqsan ("high foot") or Ch’ésqen ("golden eagle"); both the Nooksack and Lummi are federally recognized tribes who have occupied the Nooksack and Lummi river watersheds.

The Mount Baker Highway provides year-round access to the area, while Picture Lake offers especially clear views in summer. The best views of the peak come from designated viewpoints along the route, particularly in clear weather and early morning hours.

Sulphide Creek Falls drops off Mount Shuksan's southeastern flank and is counted among North America's tallest waterfalls. Four other tall waterfalls spill from the mountain and from neighbouring Jagged Ridge and Seahpo Peak, mostly fed by small snowfields and glaciers. The falls lie on the remote, roadless side of the massif.
